Rampage is sponsered by Affliction, probably why
And I marked for Fedor and Randy being face to face |

They did a cool thing in showing every fight they had regardless of the place on the card. They could have done without megadeath but they added time to go get a beer or take a shit and not miss any action. And the fights were awsome! Better than the ones UFC put on at least! Now your going to say "well Lindland was boring!!!" and yes he was, but i will retort with, "the vera fight, the anthony johnson pre finger stab to the eye fight, and the edgar fight all made me watch the television that had affliction on it." The last three fights were amazing on the affliction card. Barnett-Rizzo was classic, Arlovski raped Rothwell and Fedor showed everyone why hes number 1. The vitor fight was awsome and the babalu fight was good too. |

I kind of liked the Edgar/Franca fight. Franca obviously had more power and if Edgar made one mistake it could have been all over for him but he kept at it and won by decision.

Affliction was good. And Reav, who also watched it entirely agrees. And I have watched both. I would have made the same comment regardless of the fact I think you are an arse. |

So, my opinion is wrong simply because your opinion differs??
Look, in my 10 plus years of watching MMA, Pride was the only promotion to ever come close to putting on half as good of a show as UFC does on a nightly bases.. If you really want to become uppity towards me for stating that opinion, fine.. I just think it's retarded to spend money on a card full of former great fighters, most of whom I cared nothing for in the first place, than to watch a free event I knew would entertain me, just because it's popular to wear tight shirts with flaming skulls on them.. Even as a "super card" Arlovski and Fedor are the only two fighters I'd pay money to see and even stating that is pushing it, seeing as Arlovski is a shell of his former self and Fedor hasn't fought anyone of worth in over three years.. Well, minus Matt Lindland, who has only one other big fight in the past three years, which was Jeremy Horn, who I have to mention, hasn't done shit either in those same three years, scine he was last in the UFC.. See a pattern there.. I refuse to spent $50 on their tight gay flaming skull shirts, why would I spend it on their attempt at a super card?? |

I knew Fedor was gonna win, but I thought it would at least take 3 minutes. The Troll just wasn't ready. Maybe Fedor had somewhere else to be... |

An opinion is stated with additional words which imply it is opinion. You state things like they are fact. 'I knew it would be a bush league show' Thats why I retort, because fact and opinion aren't stated in the same way. Arlovski is a shell of his former self? How have you watched MMA for 10 years and still make teenager comments like that? Did you start this decade of MMA voyeurism when you were 3? And you didn't say you think this, you stated is as a true fact. The run down of match ups you stated was very interesting, but whatever. If you like watching the bottom rung of fighters who get paid around 5k to lose to slightly better nobodies, or TUF rejects Dana tries to milk some publicity out of until the next TUF begins and they become as worthless as before, then great. I would personally rather watch a show that is stacked with fighters with world-class skills and some of the most impressive combat backgrounds in the world. Who knows why? Nobody is talking about their fucking t-shirts. Why would you even bother to bring up that they make t-shirts, that to be fair, you probably only dislike because they don't make your size? Seriously, this isn't just because I don't like you, it's because you make comments from opinion, and dress them up as fact. KK does it, but he backs it up with some intelligence. |

You are fucking ridiculous.. Firstly, you are putting your opinions how great the Affliction PPV was, out there like everyone who doesn't agree is wrong.. I never put my opinions across like that.. Secondly, fighters like Arlovski is a shell of his former self.. Me a Reavant have been talking about that for years, as I have been a huge Arlovski fan, and he knows/trains with the guy.. Fedor hasn't fought anyone of worth since Pride disbanned.. And even towards the end of it they were feeding him "over the hill" fighters like Mark Coleman and Matt Lindland (who ironically was on the same "THUPERCARD" you are trying to defend to me).. I'm not even gonna comment on Tim Sylvia.. Once again, all I said was I didn't know why someone would spend their money to watch a subpar, first time promotion, over a free UFC event, when they could watch the UFC event, and then watch the Affliction event later, online.. I understand that it's important for the sport to have other big promotions to house the thousands of great fighters who aren't in UFC, but I have never seen one that's come close to the production quality UFC puts on night after night.. The Elite XC CBS show was a fucking joke and made me sad that that is what they are putting across on national tv as the best MMA in the world.. Strikeforce is pretty horrid, with Ken Shamrock being the worst commentator I've ever seen.. IFL is good, but they can barely pay their fighters and have threatened to shutdown numerous times.. The only way I've even heard of M1 and DREAM is because I frequent MMA meassage boards.. It is my opinion that UFC/WEC is a more quality product than what everyone eles is putting out there and it's not my fault you are so sensitive to take me saying that "fact" and getting your panties all in a wad.. |

Whatever, that wasn't you said, this is an attempt to justify comments that didn't state your intention, according to this post.
TV Production value doesn't have anything to do with card quality and fight quality, has it? So, yeah. OK. My point is, like I already said, is that you dogged the Affliction show and cast an opinion on it, without seeing it first. Making your opinion full of shit. So, do we get another few paragraphs of bollocks that isn't relevant to the discussion at hand, or is that it? Oh, and how you are STILL talking about Arlovski as past it after that fight shows you are either retarded, or still haven't watched Affliction, in which case you should really really really shut the fuck up. |

So why don't you go back and quote all this shit I talked..
Cause for the fifth time, all I said was that I figured it would be a bush league show as far a production value, with a great card, if they had had it in 2006, and that UFC is a superior product.. All of which, even being a mere opinion, turned out to be true.. |

Example:
I had a few buddies over to watch the Elite XC CBS show.. It runs about 2 hours and gets to the prefight video package for the main event, being Kimbo vs. Thompson.. We go outside, thinking we had 15 minutes, to smoke one.. We come back inside within 10 minutes and the fights had restarted.. The very first fight of the card was on.. Us being drunk and high were like WTF because there is no way it was that fast with the ring entrance, introductions, and the fight itself etc.. The show proceeded to run from the beggining for one hour and then went off the air.. Never saw Kimbo or Thompson, nothing.. Also, I work on tv so yeah.. Production quality is pretty big to me, ecspecially if I'm paying money.. Buy hey, whatever floats your boat.. |

also, as long as the cameras are actually on the fighters while they are fighting, then how is it hard for you to get into the fight? I mean its a sport and the competition is making me watch it... not how well they cut from camera to camera or the quality of announcers, or animations to show height, weight and records.
